As the final Lions were handed out over the weekend, New Zealand’s total haul of 60 over the course of the event saw the nation finish in sixth position. This result will taste particularly sweet, given that it puts New Zealand one place above our frenemies across the ditch, who only landed 58 Lions.

Don’t drink and drive, don’t text and drive and now don’t app when hungry. Or do. Snickers New Zealand has gone down a rather unexpected route for its latest campaign via Colenso BBDO.

For many Kiwi kids, being active outside can come at the cost of a broken arm. But, in a new initiative by Anchor and Colenso BBDO, the fun doesn’t have to be over.

In fact, there’s a strong sense that he’s been impatiently waiting for this opportunity for quite some time.
Yesterday, across the industry, lint brushes ran over polka dot dinner jackets, dresses were taken out of their protective plastic covers and the nation’s resources of hair wax were unsustainably diminished as the denizens of adland readied themselves for one of the biggest nights in advertising, the Axis Awards.
